I like the article! As is already pointed out, the “take it easy” part is a comforting one. I was wondering, how to do it, when I’m disappointed with not doing, not trying enough. When I’m disappointed because I did the oposite of stepping out of hiding.

Sustainability is easier to create than we may think it is. Discouragement, frustration, and hopelessness and frustration are the clothes that overwhelm wears.

If we have a method for recognizing and dissolving overwhelm when it develops, all that friction and drag from resistance disappears.

A new book called Productive Procrastination will be on shelves in a few weeks. In it, there’s a dissolving overwhelm exercise. There are many ways to dissolve overwhelm, though – the key is to let yourself experience the physical sensations/energy of what you’re experiencing in the moment, rather than resisting them. It’s simply amazing how easy it is, how quick once you have just a little practice, and how effective in taking you from dread or indifference to eagerness and action.

A little more info on the book, if you’re interested, is at http://www.ProductiveProcrastinationBook.com

Great post, especially ‘go easy on yourself’. The vast majority of us over commit ourselves.

A neat little technique I use is telling myself ‘I have permission to…’

So if I am having an off day, I say ‘I give myself permission to have an easy day’ or a similar phrase.

You can use this for anything.

‘I give myself permission to have a piece of cake…or turn off my mobile phone…or have a lie in…’

Hi John,

MOTIVATION is driven by YOUR EXPERIENCE.
YOUR EXPERIENCE is driven by YOUR PERCEPTION.
PERCEPTION is driven by YOUR 5 SENSES.

One of the most poweful senses is your vision.

When I’m motivated I’m focused on my VISION.
When I’m not motivated my vision is fuzzy and unclear.

Visualize to Motivate. Check out Principle 5 in,
